My car (and many other supras) act just as you described on hot starts. Not cold starts.

He won't have a hand after the dealership takes it! :biglaugh:

First, get a known good battery in there. Trying to jump an engine after a swap is not the best idea... Second, double even triple check all of your connections.

I just went out logged a run. At 4750 rpm and 16.21 psi, my timing is at 15.98*. 4750 rpm is also when Peak TQ and Peak Boost occur. Does anyone else have similar data they can share?

Bump... ;)

That's awesome Ron! Congrats on making it to your meet. (and back ;)) I know that meet was a big push for you! Get them vids up son!! :D

Yep, I've already started on it. Thanks for giving me a preview! :)

Get the front way up in the air or park on a hill with the nose up. Remove rad cap and let idle until the thermostat opens a few times. DON'T REMOVE THE RAD CAP WHILE THE CAR IS AT OP TEMP. (no offense, that's just my disclaimer;)) Removing the 'whipple' valve off the thermostat aids in...

Very Very Nice!

Peter: You should start a thread in the 'Tech' section so you'll get more exposure. And to keep Ron's Build Thread clean... ;)

^Yep. Now that you've pointed it out, I hear it. Good ears! :)

Hopefully just the check valve needs to be cleaned. It's a rather delicate piece. Try to clean it with just a rag. I would test it first though. http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?Section=FI&P=106

Now....Rob is NOT going to sell these with the car. They are being sold to CajunKenny! ;)

Woo Hoo!!! Why I didn't hear the ISC Clicking...? :sarcasm: I hope it was the camera's fault. ;)

It's about time!!! ;) Good Job Ron!

Very nice! Maybe someone should start a "Lowest Mileaged MK3" thread! :)

^I think the phrase you're looking for is: "It's better to be rich and retarded than lean and broke." :)
